Well I decided to get rid of the boys. And now Michelle has the whole place to herself! I guess it's on to the LST'ing...

Thanks ceestyle. Sounds like a good show! Well I'm about 95% sure the three are males. I think for the sake of the one female I should get rid of the guys today and start training her before she gets too big. I just wish there was something I could do with the guys instead of adding them to...

Hawk you have a really good point. If you look at the location of Michelle in the Earthbox (back left) you can see that I could LST her towards the front, then over to the right, then back, and then over to the left. Essentially I could make a completely huge "square" around the exposed soil...

I decided for some reason to check for preflowers and low-and-behold they are already present. This tells me that the plants, while I may wait a bit longer, are ready for the flowering cycle whenever I am. Following is the list of what I believe my plant sex to be: Michelle - Definitely...

Pictures of my uber-tape job and some updates of the ladies. Couple different angles for ya! I arranged some of the larger fan leaves to be tucked underneath the newer branches so that the little guys can get more light. I think I'm going to wait a couple more weeks (maximum) to start flowering.

Right, which is kinda why these had appeal to me. Every time I look at the typical activated carbon scrubber I think about all those little pellets in them. It makes me wonder how much of those pellets actually gets used. In my mind, for every pellet the only effective part is the surface...

Things are as sorted as they can be. I wrapped all the major joints in the duct work with super heavy duty waterproof metallic tape. Funny thing is I just got a huge whiff of it in the house and, upon nasal inspection, I think the neighbors might be burnin' one! I think what I'm smelling is a...

Hey RIU-ers, I was looking around and found these. If anyone has used these "charcoal fiber" filters please vote on a scale of 1 to 5; 1 being that they removed no smell at anytime and 5 being that they removed all the smell, all the time. For hearsay and speculation please only post text...

Thanks for the compliments. I'm using Miracle Grow Organic potting mix. In the original 6" pots I mixed in about a tablespoon of McGeary's slow release organic 5-3-4 nutes just to get things moving a bit. Now the Earthbox has the same potting mix and nutes but, because of the design of the...

Jay, being the "hippie" that I am I actually have about 20 different oils that I could try. Also, now that I've calmed down a little and had time to think, I realize that when I came home yesterday the duct tape had come loose on the left side of my light fixture and so the air flow was...

Well I just learned that my roommates girlfriend knows about the grow op because she smelled it in the house. I have a filter but apparently it isn't doing anything. I normally wouldn't be too worried about it because she's cool but I live in a duplex so I have to confine the smell to my grow...

A quick update and question for anyone interested. The first picture is an overall view of progress. The second picture is a close up of Jessica's (front left) newer leaves. They're looking a little sickly: yellow, curled, and "folded". Two of the other plants show the same characteristics...

Seriously Jay, that is the densest plant I've seen on this site! The whole plant is bud! So Lowrider is the person who developed this "AK47 Auto" strain? I'd like to learn more about it. Is it a cross between ruderalis (sp?) and indica? One hell of a job for your first grow :clap:

Thanks Skibumm and good luck! Let me know if you have any questions. The people here on RIU were essential in helping me get this grow up and keep it going (namely Hawk, ceestyle, and RaulFarquar); the least I can do is try to give back.

Thats a good idea. Hmmm I wonder what the local materials store would turn up? Maybe a durlap type material would work? jayzero thanks for posting by the way. I'm currently on Page 3 of your Journal. I'll post up when I get through it.

Nice, looks like the LST paid off for you big time. I think I may follow suit with some form or another. BTW I'm thinking about trying this technique for sexing before the flowering stage: GROWFAQ I think it's pretty logical...objections anyone?

I installed the filter since the smell is increasing daily. I hope that it's big enough! Also, my plants are looking a little bit droopy. I know during a transfer this can happen but I decided to lift my light from 7" to about 11" just in case it was the heat that was getting to them. I've...

Yummy! The Northern Skunk and Endless Sky plants are super bushy! Nice switch on the avatar too ;-)

Thanks Hawk. The Earthbox has a reservoir of water at the bottom with a drain hole so I can't over water. In two of the corners of the reservoir there is potting mix packed so that it can uptake water and distribute it into the bulk of the potting mix that sits on a grate above the reservoir...

Well the carpet guy came and went without any issues. Once he left I got to working on my grow. I put all the ladies into the Earthbox! You won't believe this but the plants (from left to right, back to front) are Michelle, Sally, Jessica, and Cindy. Sally and Jessica healed marvelously and...
